Chapter 501 Defeat
After communication, the Zhongyi Army agreed to let Jin Bing general Xiao Zhengde lead a few soldiers across the rope bridge and take a shortcut to the North Cliff to check the truth. Xiao Zhengde and several others climbed over along the chain, descended from the East Cliff and went straight to the North Cliff.
Avalanche place.
An hour later, Xiao Zhengde came back with limp hands and a pale face.
"How is it? What happened?" Xiao Huaizhong asked loudly.
Xiao Zhengde wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "It's incredible, Marshal. It was really an avalanche. The entire valley was filled in. Zhao Qinian and the fifteen thousand people were all gone. There were only less than a thousand
People were lucky enough to survive, but each one could no longer walk. It was so miserable. They were all buried alive by the snow. If you take a few steps in the snow, you will be dead. If you step on it...you can feel that there are all people underneath..."
Xiao Huaizhong sat down on the ground, his face was gray, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless for a long time.
"God's punishment, God's punishment, it's really God's punishment. God is punishing me. Fifteen thousand people, are they all gone in the blink of an eye? I'm done... How should I explain to the emperor? Forty thousand troops, plus
The eight thousand people who went to Huguan, a total of 48,000 troops and horses. Now... there are less than 30,000 people left. It's over, it's all over. The emperor will kill me." Xiao Huaizhong murmured to himself.
Xiao Zhengde said in a trembling voice: "Marshal, I see that the northern cliff has been completely filled in, and the deep stream has been completely covered with snow, and has become a road that leads directly to the northern cliff of Fenglong Mountain. How about we just stop doing it and gather together?
All troops and horses attack from the northern cliff. We can destroy the loyal army so that we can explain to the emperor."
Xiao Huaizhong's eyes shone, and he saw hope. He thought for a moment, but then slowly shook his head and said: "This is a divine punishment. Do you know what a divine punishment is? God help them, we can't win. So many people died at once,
Do the people below still dare to take action? Besides...you are talking about the mountain in the north having an avalanche, but what about the mountain in the south? Has it collapsed? Is there snow on it?"
Xiao Zhengde was suddenly startled and broke out in cold sweat. When he went to check just now, Fang Zian was with him. When they were at the disaster scene, Fang Zian pointed to the mountain peak in the south and said something to him.
"During the avalanche, only the snow-capped mountains in the north suffered avalanches. In fact, the snow-capped mountains in the south were higher, the slopes were steeper, and avalanches were more likely to occur. I don't know what God thought, but the southern peaks were left uncollapsed. It was really strange.
"
Fang Zian said this with a smile. Xiao Zhengde was in a state of shock at that time and did not pay too much attention to it. But now that Xiao Huaizhong said this, he suddenly woke up. So he learned what Fang Zian said from Xiao Huaizhong.
once.
Xiao Huaizhong also broke out in a cold sweat, and after a while he said: "We have withdrawn our troops, and it would be a huge mistake to go into the mountains to suppress the Eight-Character Army. God is obviously going to punish us. If we don't leave, we will all die. I have a hunch that the place to the south will
The snow on this mountain is reserved for us. As long as we gather our troops and attack from the valley, we will definitely suffer the same fate as Zhao Qinian. By then, all our remaining nearly 30,000 people will be dead. If we don't attack from the north, now
All the engineers and baggage for building the bridge are gone, and the opponent already has two crossbows. With God helping them, we can't win, and we won't have to lose our lives."
Xiao Zhengde smacked his lips and nodded: "What the marshal said is true. But if we go back like this... can the emperor spare us? The emperor's temper is not easy to talk about. However, the marshal did a good job in rescuing the car that day, maybe the emperor will take note of it.
There will be no investigation into the matter."
Xiao Huaizhong sneered and said: "Will he remember other people's merits? Did Xiao Yu's contribution be great? Did Tang Kuo's merit be great? These were all great contributors to his quest for the throne. Didn't they all die in his hands?
Here. You can say that Xiao Yu rebelled. But why did Xiao Yu rebel? Didn't he feel that he was going to be killed? Wan Yanliang was a ruthless and cruel person, capable of adversity but not wealth, shameless and absolutely unbelievable. We are in a situation like this.
If you return to Yanjing, he will kill you immediately."
Xiao Zhengde said angrily: "Then what should we do? We can't fight again and again, and we can't retreat again and again. So what should we do?"
Xiao Huaizhong pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go back to Xijing. Datong Mansion is my base. I will take these nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses directly back to Datong Mansion to live my happy life."
Xiao Zhengde was shocked and said: "Marshal is going to...rebellion?"
Xiao Huaizhong sneered: "Rebellion? If Wan Yanliang doesn't force me, I will still be a minister of Dai Jin, and we will live in peace. If he forces me, I will not sit back and wait for death. I will not let him kill like other people.
If you are anxious, I will dedicate Xijing to the Song Dynasty. Going to the Song Dynasty may not be a way out."
Xiao Zhengde was speechless for a long time, his eyes filled with anger.
Xiao Huaizhong said in a deep voice: "Zhengde, you have followed me for many years, how have I treated you over the years?"
Xiao Zhengde said: "The Marshal treats me like a son. Zhengde is what he is today because of the Marshal's support. Zhengde is always grateful for the Marshal's kindness and has nothing to repay."
Xiao Huaizhong nodded and said: "Okay, then are you willing to follow me on this road? Don't worry, I have nine lives, and no one can do anything to us. We are in Xijing, with an army of 80,000 people, we can have both sides, and we are absolutely comfortable.
.The current situation forces us to take this step, do you agree?"
Xiao Zhengde said: "The last general will naturally follow the Marshal's lead, but I don't know about the others..."
Xiao Huaizhong said in a deep voice: "Others don't have to worry. Those who don't want to follow me can just go back to Yanjing and die. Or I will kill him here. Zhengde, you quickly go and order the soldiers and horses from the other two places to withdraw, and tell Xiao
Yuenlang Yelucai and others said that Wanyan Liang had issued an imperial edict, saying that our attack would be unfavorable and that they would take us back to Yanjing to be executed. After returning, you killed Wanyan Dekang and showed his head to them.
They say that we have disobeyed orders and killed Wanyan Dekang. We will also die if we return to Yanjing. It depends on what they decide. If Xiao Yuanlang and Yelucai hesitate, you don’t have to hesitate, just order people to kill them. After doing this
From now on, you will be the deputy commander of the army and horses of Datong Prefecture in Xijing. Under me, you will command hundreds of generals. Do you understand?"
Xiao Zhengde was frightened, his scalp was numb and his body was dripping with cold sweat, but at this moment, he had no choice. As long as he said no, he would die. So he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said in a deep voice: "Marshal
Don’t worry, I’ll take care of my humble job right now.”
…
The Jin soldiers ceased their activities, broke camp and retreated to the hillside, with no more signs of attack. The loyal army did not dare to neglect, and their men were still stationed on the cliff, but everyone was so happy that they were about to explode.
When the news came that an avalanche on Beishan Cliff had buried all the more than 10,000 gold soldiers alive, everyone was shocked and breathed a sigh of relief. When Beiya was attacked, everyone was actually prepared to die in battle.
Suddenly, the entire Beiya Golden Army was wiped out, giving everyone a feeling of escaping from death.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the Zhongyi Army also had different opinions and speculations as to why the avalanche occurred. The specific reasons were not announced. The soldiers only heard privately that it was Lord Fang's work. But the problem is, Lord Fang
What ability can he have to control the occurrence of avalanches? Is he a god? A land lord? Or a monster? This matter is really strange and makes people doubtful.
In the cave where the meeting was held on Dongshanya, several Zhongyi soldiers
All the senior generals have been summoned back to attend the meeting. Everyone sitting at the long table was beaming with joy, because no matter from which point of view, the Jin soldiers should not attack again. The two armies fought, and the casualties reached 30%.
It was basically a defeat. Even though the number of golden soldiers was still large, the devastating blow of that avalanche not only buried 15,000 golden soldiers in the valley, but also destroyed the morale of all the golden soldiers.
During this time, they were unable to fight anymore. No matter who they were, they could no longer muster the courage to fight after experiencing such a blow.
Before Fang Zian and Zhang Ruomei entered the cave, the generals already knew that this was Fang Zian's masterpiece. But like ordinary soldiers, they wanted to know how Fang Zian allowed all this to happen. Therefore, among the discussions, the topic
I can never do without this.
When Fang Zian and Zhang Ruomei entered the cave side by side, the generals stood in awe and saluted respectfully. This time, they admired and awed Fang Zian from the bottom of their hearts to every pore in their bodies. This man saved everything and saved their lives.
worldwide.
Zhang Ruomei obviously took the time to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and combed her hair neatly, like a wife. She greeted everyone to sit down with a radiant face, and said straight to the point: "Brothers, let's win.
The Jin soldiers no longer dare to attack anymore. They will withdraw soon. The Jin soldiers from various battlefields have evacuated, and the Jin soldiers' big tent outside Dongshan Cliff has also been dismantled. They are loading their vehicles and preparing to leave. This
In one battle, we won a great victory."
The generals applauded and cheered, with tears in their eyes and excitement. This war was in an extremely difficult situation from the beginning. No one had the idea of victory, but only the determination to fight to the death. The enemy was ten thousand at Wuma Mountain.
After his death in battle, the whole army fell into a state of extremely low morale. Some people had wavered and some had given up. However, those who were the most determined, the most wise and strategic, and the most courageous held on and laughed.
Finally, for everyone, this victory has taught them a lot. No matter from the battle itself, or from the tempering of character and will, everyone has made a leap. It will play a decisive role in their future lives.
.
Zhang Ruomei also had tears in her eyes, wiping her tears and said: "We have lived up to everyone's expectations. I think my brother can rest in peace in heaven. We did it. This is simply unimaginable. This feeling is so wonderful. Of course, this
To be able to defeat Jin Bing for the first time, I think there is no doubt about the person who made the first contribution, you all know who it is, right?"
"Who else could it be besides Mr. Fang?" Xiao Gui shouted loudly.
"Yes, Mr. Fang is really a man of God. If he hadn't created ten thousand enemies, and if he hadn't allowed Beiya to attack the Jin soldiers and destroy them, how could we have won this victory?" All the generals nodded and shouted.
Fang Zian laughed and said: "Everyone, this is not something I can do alone. This is the credit of everyone. You and I, even every soldier and every citizen who participated, have all contributed.
. We fit together, just like individual parts, forming a super enemy with ten thousand enemies. Only then did we defeat the Jin soldiers. This is a collective victory."
Lu Zhendong laughed and said: "What a metaphor. Mr. Fang is really a scholar, and everything he said makes sense."
Xiao Gui said loudly: "Master Fang, after talking for a long time, you haven't told us yet, how did you make the snow avalanche fall on the hillside? Are you a land man? Tell us quickly, we just want to know this
thing."
